I’ve seen many photo’s of the Erie modernized cars but I don’t think I’ve ever seen a picture of the Lackawanna cars . Any idea where I can look ?
First be sure you are talking Erie vs Lackawanna rather than Erie Lackawanna. EL cars were painted in Lackawanna colors. But pure Lackawanna pictures abound in back issues of fan magazines and especially in the histories of the DL&W starting with the Tabers’ Delaware Lackawanna and Western Railroad in the Twentieth Century Volumes I and II, Also, check the EL Ry Historical Society web page and publications.
Correct me if I am wrong: The only lightweight DL&W diners were the two Budds built for the lightwieght Phoebe Snow. The remainder were rebuilt heavyweights.
Right , the Lackawanna had two lightweight diners . I’m interested in the heavyweight cars that proceeded them . I have many pics of the rebuilt Erie cars but none of the unrebuilt lackawanna heavies.
